Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions for garnish
  • 1 orange, sliced for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and orange zest.

  4. 4

    Lightly oil a baking sheet, place salmon skin-side down, and brush with the orange glaze.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve garnished with green onions and orange slices.

Chef's tip

Ensure the glaze is not too thick before brushing onto the salmon, as it will continue to thicken while baking.
